for mark kelly. take a look at the governor s race as, well it s similar, waiting for the update there as well. in the senate race, 95,318 votes, that is now mark kelly s lead. the significance of this vote was that the democrats were hoping that this would be a democratic vote that would allow kelly to pad his lead. remember, the total number from this kind of pool that we just got votes from, it s 136, 000, that s what county officials told us. 136,000 ballots they were being returned, friday, saturday, sunday, or monday. and again, what we are seeing reported out here is that we have 62,000. it would appear that it is not the entirety of that weekend slash monday vote. it appears that there is more from that to go, and if the rest of that bucket breaks the same way, again, that is a more ground that kelly can gain
gets 26,521 of them. it breaks this update here. that is 55% of the new batch is democratic vote, and 43% of this new batch is republican vote. again, just waiting to see this populate in our screen, but with that will essentially do is it will add to mark kelly s lead, about 7,321 votes that will add to his lead in maricopa county and statewide, we re just waiting to see if anything kicks in here. this is maricopa county, this source that i m using for this so that we can really get into their. it should come into our system , but the significance of the okay, here we see the new total, and it is 92,000 vote plus in maricopa county, what does that do to the statewide numbers? when we came on the air an hour ago, now it s back into the mid 90s, 95,000 from that county.
catherine cortez masto, who is trailing by 20,000 votes, the core of the outstanding vote is in the two big counties, washoe and clark where las vegas is combined 90% of the state, the biggie s car county. basically, in clark county, there s about 15,000 votes we might get reported out tonight , and then on top of the, there is still another 70,000 or so yet to be reported. there s probably a total of 85,000 outstanding votes in clark county. what they mainly are about ballots that were put in drop boxes on election day, nearly 60,000 total, where votes in ballots taken from drop boxes on election day. we will get an update, we expect tonight, it won t be anything near that 85,000. the number in washoe county s is 61,000. and about two thirds of the, again, this is mail in vote basically, about two thirds of the arrive before election day and about one third of that
votes behind my kelly, she probably needs this last batch of votes to give her a lot more like 2018, when it was democratic friendly, and 2020 when it was republican firmly. democrats do add carl kelly has added about 10,000 votes to his margin statewide over the last hour. again, this is the update, and now maricopa update. this is probably will see if i can find this, but the way that they do this is an update for the night for maricopa county. tomorrow, we ll be seeing if we can get that. steve let me just ask you, in terms of what you did just see come in, and we understand that it s only a portion of what remains, was the partisan split on that vote that we did just get the kind of partisan split the democrats were hoping for, or was it an underwhelming number in terms of 55% roughly democrat vote? i think it s helpful, you use it as a point of reference in 2020 when donald trump used that final batch of votes here
it s going to be 70,000 that are left, and we still have 61,000 mail ballots in washoe county. there will be an update tonight, but they don t expect a big or significant update tonight. what democrats are hoping for is that there are 56,000 ballots in clark county that were dropped off in the drop boxes on election day. they are uncounted, and certainly they re hoping that there will be anything like we just showed you in that sample of 15,000 or so. that could be a very significant gain for cortez masto in terms of trying to catch laxalt. i want to ask you a process question, because i know you are also asking general election officials in terms of when it votes are expected, and of what kind. in your experience doing this , is there anything that seems to be strange or off, or a typical, or wearing it all in terms of the way the votes are being processed, and the pace at which the vote is happening. i only ask this because they re still conspiracy rising on the right that there ma
